Amdocs2016 Snapshot- Anija (ALBANIA,ITALY, 80 min.)

In early March 1991 some ships appeared for the first time on the horizon off the Italian Adriatic coast.

Since then that stretch of Southern Italy has seen a stunning number of ships full of people headed to shore, in what was later acknowledged as an exodus of Albanians. It was a collective escape of staggering proportion, the likes of which hadn’t been seen in Europe since World War 2; it affected various kinds of different people, all united by the desire to leave Albania behind.
